Good Morning Everyone!
I'm scheduled for surgery 2/22, and am stuck on my preop diet! I've lost 7 of the 15 lbs I was asked to lose and now I've been stalled for a week! I'm drinking nearly 2 gal. water daily, taking the chrom pic. tablets, the fiber tablets, and drinking 3 Glucerna shakes for my "meals". I'm working out w/ a personal trainer that I physcially see twice a week and we talk daily as well as walking on my own for 30 mins a day 5 days a week! I'm seriously at my wits end... I'm physically and emotionally exhausted at this point, and I just don't know what else I can do to lose the rest of the weight. I could cut off a limb, I suppose... but I don't think that's the kind of weight loss they're looking for! My body fat percentage has gone down since I've been doing all this but the actual weight in lbs is slow going. And I have lymphedema so depending on my legs... my weight flucuates 2-3 lbs with just the fluid I retain. I've emailed Dr. Miranda, but haven't heard anything back yet. ANY help you guys can provide would be great! I'd hate to have all my effort be futile and the surgery be rescheduled.
Thanks alot
Lea Anne
